How did you go into music?

"My father is a musician who played the guitar. Mom listens to a lot of music and that was how I started singing. She would play gospel music around the house and ask me to sing along. And that was I got to start music."

You were said to have dropped out of school to do music?

"I finished school! I finished school at a young age and we moved back to to my homeland, Kenya. While I was in Kenya, I began singing back ups for popular artiste, Mercy Myra. And we started touring as one thing led to another."

Beside Music, what do you do?

"I'm a very creative person. I like to write scripts for music videos. I like to think about fashion, to come up with different fashion ideas."

Do you cook?
"I do. Nigerian dishes, I cook pepper soup, Egusi soup and both are my favourite soups. I was really a local (girl). I live very close to a certain market, we could be buy the food and had to adapt. Some things you don't forget. I enjoy cooking without a doubt."

Type of Music?

"I have Rhythm and Blues background. When I go back to home to Kenya, the sound changes. I sing Afro-Pop then."

International Acts worked with: Chris Brown, Jada Kiss, Busta Rhymes, Lloyd, Dj Simmons and musicians across the world; What kind of influences do they have on you?

"To be honest, there is always someone I wrote for among these internationals because they appreciate what I do. It is also very humbling to me that these guys like my sounds. It makes me to know that I will keep growing, keep pushing because there is no limits."

Working with Chocolate City in Nigeria, grew up in Los Angeles and come from Kenya; how do you manage that?

"I probably move around for my music. Everywhere I go, I pick up something. I learn new things. Everywhere in different and I put it in my music."

Life in Chocolate City?

"Working in Chocolate City is the best? They are amazing. It's a team of people who genuinely want to see the African dream come to past. They are a record label that can blend Hip Hop, Pop music or Afro Pop to get bigger and bigger.

Ice Prince in the best in the game. M.I Abaga is the king. It's awesome."

What's the plan?

"It's a world take over in music. We will like to see our music playing everywhere. We will want to do our music in Europe, Dubai or Japan, everywhere. There is no excuse why it can't happen."
